About Campsmount Academy

Campsmount Academy’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.22 places it below the Doncaster local authority average of -0.04, meaning pupils here make less academic progress between Key Stage 2 and GCSE than the typical student in the area. That gap is modest but consistent: the school ranks 15th out of 20 secondary schools in Doncaster, putting it in the bottom quarter of its local peers. For context, the top-performing school in the LA, The Hayfield School, posts a Progress 8 of 0.63, so Campsmount sits some way behind the strongest local options. However, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across all five categories — a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2022, when behaviour, leadership, and the sixth form were all graded as needing improvement. The turnaround under headteacher Jordanna Proctor appears genuine, with behaviour and attitudes now rated Good and the sixth form provision also lifted to Good.

Academically, the picture is mixed. At Key Stage 4, the school’s Attainment 8 score of 40 is below the national average, and just 36% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics95 measure), compared with 50.9% at the standard 4/C threshold. Progress in maths is notably weaker than in English: the maths Progress 8 score is -0.46, while English sits at -0.14. The EBacc entry rate is low at 8.1%, and the EBacc average point score of 3.24 reflects limited take-up of the full suite of academic subjects. At Key Stage 5, the sixth form is small — just 12 pupils in the data — but the value-added score of 0.06 is positive, and the average points per entry of 30 equates to a grade C, which is in line with expectations. The sixth form’s progress banding is rated Average, suggesting that students who stay on do broadly as well as their prior attainment would predict.

Campsmount is a secondary academy with a sixth form, serving 745 pupils against a capacity of 900, so there is some room to grow. It is oversubscribed: for 2025/26, 105 first-preference applications were received for 106 total places, giving a ratio of 1.26 applicants per place. The school offers a wide range of facilities including a swimming pool, theatre, astro turf, and tennis courts, and sports on offer include rowing, netball, rugby, and dance. Clubs range from the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Model United Nations to coding and eco club. SEND provision is well-documented, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, visual impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. This school is likely to suit families who value the recent Ofsted improvement and the breadth of extracurricular opportunities, but who are realistic about academic outcomes that currently trail the local average.
